I dunno... are they really going to give up on driving closer to the rockface when they're so close now? I was wondering myself if they were having second thoughts when I saw the most recent navcam shots, which seemed to be Oppy taking a good long look at the ground and rocks at her feet and around her, almost as if she was reaching out with a toe and testing the rocks on the edge of a pool... but there seem to be no huge obstacles in her path, and to come this close and not try to get closer still would be frustrating for the team, wouldn't it? Maybe they're just checking out an exit strategy and route before edging closer to Cape Verde... thinking "Well, if we really can't get any farther we can always come back here and head out in that direction..."?
